Here's something for the old fossils in the forum. (I.e. those of us who have put our classroom days behind us.)

Four Color Personality tests are used by companies the world over in order to create an ideal and productive working environment for its employees.

Reasearch has shown that there are only four basic personality temperaments in the world. If you know which color personality you are - you may better understand your professional role, your role in a team, how you react to certain situations and what you can do to improve your situation.

Once you have your result; check back here to see what your color represents.

(Please note that your personality style however is unique. It's composed of a blend of all four colors. The purpose of the test is to figure out what your basic color is and how to make you thrive at work.)

Blue Personality: Analyzer/Organizer

A Blue personality uses its five physical senses to access information. An emotionally driven personality, you need to be liked and accepted. It is one of the "needs" that can cause apprehension in your personality. You are a polite, cooperative person who seeks to create conflict-free surroundings. You possess highly developed powers of observation. Family is important to you and you sometimes find yourself in the role of being a caretaker.

Green Personality: Helper/Supporter

A strong Green individual lives in a world of intangibles where hopes, dreams and emotions are most important. You look at the big picture, are not detail oriented, and like to explore possibilities and alternative ways of doing things. You march to your own drummer and frequently find it difficult to get on the same wavelength as others. This often puts pressure on your relationships. You have a rich vivid imagination and thrive in an atmosphere that encourages the use of your creative abilities and talent. Your intuition is highly developed and you seem to be able to sense what others are feeling.

Needs others to provide1. Push to try new challenges2. Help in solving difficult problems3. Initiative and accepting change

Personal growth area1. Facing confrontation and dealing with it2. Moving at a faster pace and initiating

Red Personality: Leader/Promoter

A dominant Red score indicates life’s experiences must make sense to you. You are logical, practical and do not display emotions easily. Because of your desire for structure, you seek control of both your environment and people, and are sometimes seen by others as domineering. You are punctual and may become irritated if you think your time is being wasted. A natural leader, you are driven by the need for power and control. What stresses you is lack of organization and last minute changes.

Ideal situation1. New varied activities2. Opportunity to really get things done3. Continual challenges, multi-tasker4. Difficult assignments5. Freedom to act from their instinct6. Control over the situations7. Direct answers from others, no innuendoes

Yellows are self-confident personalities who will challenge anything and everything; authority, rules and established ways of thinking. This tendency to question everything can create a strained atmosphere in both business and personal situations. You are interested in theories, abstractions, innovations and change. You are a conceptual deep thinker and enjoy getting "lost in your head" as a way of exploring new ideas and looking for innovative ways to make a difference. You are a true "out-of-the-box" visionary and adept at multi-tasking. Searching for the hidden meanings behind every day life gives you great pleasure.

You should be happy with that result Bane. It means that you have a little bit of everything in your personality. You should look closer at the Yellow and Green sections and see if there is something there you recognize.

Galaxy Girl: An even score is often a good sign because it's a sign of a well balanced individual. Someone who has a little bit of everything.

Of course... it could also mean that you have all the worst attributes of the different colors. Somehow I don't think that's the case here.

It's interesting to see the differences/similarities in your scores. It's also interesting to note that some people checked a lot of the boxes overall, whereas some people only checked a few. That in itself sais something. .-)

I'm generalizing like hell here now but as I think you can tell by the color summaries it would seem like a prodominately red person is more likely to succeed in achieveing their goals than the other colors. But when you look at the bigger picture a red person can be a disaster in a position that requires teamwork. It's all about putting people together that will work well together and compliment each other.

For example... the most talented yellow/green artist in the world could go completely unnoticed without a red person promoting them. And what would the red person do without someone to promote? (Become a politician? )

In short; if you're putting a team together and already have your red, green and yellow person you make sure you hire a blue.

Naturally a person can't be judged by their score alone. Simply because you are a certain color by nature doesn't mean that you have to accept and live with it. If you're willing to work at your weaknesses and polish your strengths. The color test is also good for identifying the areas you need to work on.

What color/s do you think Madonna is? George Lucas or Harrison Ford?
